I am having a sharp pain in my right nipple that comes and goes. Today I felt a tiny ball in that nipple. What could it be? My aunt had cancer at my age so I am kind of concerned.

How long after taking Tylenol or ibuprofen can I drink a bottle of wine? I took 2-500 mg Tylenol at 3:30 am this morning and 2-350 mg Tylenol yesterday due to a headache. Now, I want to drink 4 glasses of wine (4 oz each) this evening at 6 pm.

I have been losing my voice intermittently since March. I am 38 years old, not on any medications, and work on the phone from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I suspect something might be wrong with my throat. What could be causing this and what are the treatment options?

I need my right hip replaced. Yesterday, I fell hard on my left side (I did NOT fall on my 'bad' hip). But that bad hip is killing me now. Recent x-ray showed very little cartilage left in that hip. I can barely walk even with a walker. There is no pain when I sit. I can put weight on the leg but it hurts. I run a rescue and have a lot of animals here, and while my husband is a big help, he needs me to direct him and the meds as he has cognitive impairment. It snowed a lot now, and going to the hospital would be tough and getting down the 4 stairs to outside would be very painful. How do I know if my hip is broken or if I just need time? I'm scheduled for replacement in June.

Is pain/tenderness in the area under my armpit, radiating to the back and upper bicep, likely musculoskeletal or something else? The pain has been present for a few days, with stiffness in the shoulder, but no recent trauma or injury. I have tried rest, but the pain is intermittent and quite painful when pressed.
